Fright NightThe Vampire Next Door

PlotTeenager Charley’s (Yelchin) life is going pretty well. He’s dating the gorgeous Amy (Poots), albeit at the expense of losing his geeky friend Ed (Mintz-Plasse), and is about to finish high school. But then he begins to suspect that new neighbour Jerry (Farrell) is a vampire.

VerdictFunny and scary — and sometimes both at once — it lives up to the original, even if it fails to surpass it.
